Many of us know that at the start of grahana kaala, head bath with
clothes on, should be taken. However, the thought during such snaana
is more important.
Thus, those who are not in a position to follow mandated rules like snana, daana at the appropriate time, the more important dhyaanasnana should be done.
a. Vishodhana
b. Pundarikaxa
These two rupas are Vishnu SahasranAma rupas present within us
in the naadi-s. By chanting their name, the Lord who bears these
qualities to bless us by:
a. removing the deep accumulated sins from past
b. makes the present and future karmas devoid of doshas according to our yogyata.
Vishodhana means one who purifies in an extra ordinary way. That
is, by being present in all devatas he has made them pure. Not only
that, but He, as “Vishodhana” has bestowed Ganga the ability to
purify bhaktas who come in contact with her. Thus while taking bath,
if we call out the name of Ganga, keeping in mind the
“guna-naama-rupa” it not only wipes the present sins but can also
remove the accumulated sins to a great extent.
Also, Vishodhana, means the giver of “joy and instigation to
Garuda, Shesha, and mano niyamaka Rudra. We, need their grace to do
“japa, dhyaana and all mental related dharmas during the grahana
period in particular.
b. Pundarikaxa: The one who makes the sins not cling to us just
like how the water doesn't cling on to lotus. The Lord is present in
our eyes with this “guna” to make our free from the contact of
impurities so much so it needs no special cleaning.
a. Vi+sha+u+dha+na = vishodhana
vi = Garuda, also all those who have divine jnana
sha = Sukha
u = Rudra
dha = sampat
Giver of ananda to Garuda [ all devtas] and instigator of
[manoniyamaka] Rudra or giver of greatest wealth [veda vidya and iha
sampat] to all the devatas and those who worship them with knowledge.
b. Pundarikaxa:
a. One who gives sarva-adhaara for us by making “hrudaya” kamala as His abode and yet pervades everywhere especially in Vaikunta.
b. He gives light to Sun and pervades in our eyes to give light.
Like agni, he removes all impurities/sins and keeps it pure.
Make a sankalpa in the mind “to give back” and symbolically give staple food – wheat rawa, rice, til oil along with daxina. Ideally, it is best to give it to a brAhmana who knows its significance or to a maTha if nearby.

Thus, those who are not in a position to follow mandated rules like snana, daana at the appropriate time, the more important dhyaanasnana should be done.
1. Whose's dhyaana and how to do:
One who is residing in the Sun, Vasudeva-Naaraayana, is present
constantly ABOVE our own head. He, as Trivikrama, is the father of
Gangadevi. This Gangadevi [along with Ramaa-Trivikrama], when called
upon, bestows her grace on us by being in our own “shower”. While
her water cleans our body, her grace purifies us by removing the
“sins” which are the root cause of all our “roga” -- both
mental and physical.
2. What is the specific name of the
Lord INSIDE us who purifies us:
For each and every one of us the past-present-future karmas are
specific and distinct, and it is controlled by specific rupas within
our own “naadi-s”. Invoking/calling out this specific rupa-s
gives desired results.b. Pundarikaxa
b. makes the present and future karmas devoid of doshas according to our yogyata.
3. Meaning of these two naamas:
a. Vishodhana: In Harikathamruta Saara, Dasaru prays this rupa
[sakaladurita nivarana Sandhi, # 22] to bless us by removing all the
hurdles its root cause accumulated over janmas.

4. Brief explanation of the names
[naama-anusandhana]
sha = Sukha
u = Rudra
dha = sampat
a. One who gives sarva-adhaara for us by making “hrudaya” kamala as His abode and yet pervades everywhere especially in Vaikunta.
5. Daana
Daana basically means “giving up” ahankaara – the false
notion that everything is “mine” and when one forgets the real owners of all that we
have, we get sin. This past sin is indicated by the naxatra at the time of grahana. Thus it is
a reminder to those in particular to make amends for what was done in the past so that
it doesn't haunt us now or in future it prevents us from making such mistakes.Make a sankalpa in the mind “to give back” and symbolically give staple food – wheat rawa, rice, til oil along with daxina. Ideally, it is best to give it to a brAhmana who knows its significance or to a maTha if nearby.
